Accidentally ordered 4790s

[Rantahu]

I wasn't paying attention and I ordered the 4790s instead of the 4790 on newegg and it's too late to cancel the order. If I return it do I have to pay the restocking fee. I don't have money to pay for it and still get the 4790. Should I just keep it and live a life without a overclocked cpu?

The 4790K is the overclocked part, the 4790 is not unlocked and the 4790s is a low power (slower) part.

Try cancelling that order.

The max turbo speed is still 4.0 Ghz, so you're not really losing much performance.. While the 4790K would be both faster stock and overclockable, you're not going to be bottlenecked by the 4790S at all.

 

I would just keep it, considering the fact that you'd have to pay a fee to return it..

When exactly did you order it?  If you are willing to sit on the phone for 30 minutes or more, you might be able to fix it before it ships.  Once it ships however....

Also, if all you are doing is gaming, you only need an i5.

If you decide to keep it, it's still a great cpu anyway

If the restocking fee is like $10 return it and buy a 4690K if you're just gaming

People are gonna hate me for saying this, but I think if you're getting a 4790 then you really should overclock it... If you're not into overclocking, you should just get the first gen Haswell i7
